3-Step Execution Protocol

Preheat & Prep

Preheat dutch oven to 375°F (191°C). Prepare pork tenderloin (whole roast) (1 lb whole pork tenderloin, trimmed of silverskin, seared mahogany on all 4 sides in 1 tbsp olive oil, roasted covered with garlic butter and rosemary sprigs in Dutch oven).

Cook

Cook for 18–22 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

Check & Rest

Slightly firm to touch with blush pink center; instant-read thermometer reads 145°F in center of thickest portion. Confirm internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) internal. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

USDA FSIS Pork Cooking Guidelines (145°F with 3-minute rest); Pork Checkoff Culinary Standards.

Pro Tip: Because tenderloin is very lean, sear hot and fast on the stovetop for 5 minutes total, then cover and bake at 375°F for just 15 minutes to lock in moisture.
